So many sketches and challenges. So little time. LOL. With that, I’m off to my corner to see if I can crank out a little something to have to show you tomorrow.
Oh, and I made my goal of not putting on a winter coat or jacket until December 1. Barely. Beginning tonight, it’s supposed to start cooling off significantly and snow off and on for the rest of the week. That’s OK. Maybe with a little snow on the ground, I’ll be able to wrap my mind around Christmas.
Thanks for stopping by. Your kind comments and encouragement are so appreciated!!

What a great bunch of cards. I love your anniversary one.
Kathi,
Nice cards - the ducks are so cute, and the Grace papers are just yummy! I love how you've used the pattern to it's best advantage!
Snow, huh? Well, there are advantages, as you mentioned, it helps prepare us for Christmas!
(pretty hard to do with 80 degree weather and palm trees!)
What a treat to come and see 3 cards of yours. I love those ducks and the simplicity of the third one really speaks to me. The punch and ribbon are just perfect.
WOW, great cards Kathi. I LOVE that JustRite set in the first one. The ducks are too darling. And the patterned paper looks wonderful in your last one.
It was actually below freezing here this morning!!! but we soon warmed up to the 40s...very mild so far...great for the heating bills though!
Lovely cards, Kathi! While all are pretty in their own way, the one with the ducks really appeals to my cuteness meter. *Ü*
We've been pretty warm for this time of year, although I have had occasion to wear my big coat already. The snow we had a few weeks ago is still hanging around on some parts of lawns, which is really odd, I think. Our deck still has some snow on it!
Have a great day!
Wow what a great mix of cards! Love them!
These are all great!! I love the ducks. I ended up buying that stampset a while ago. Cute!!
